If anything, the Bluetones' debut album, Expecting to Fly, is too accomplished. Like their idols, the Stone Roses, the band has made a first album that is assured, low-key, and subtly charming. Lacking the dance inclinations of the Stone Roses, the band instead concentrates on perfectly crafted guitar pop songs, occasionally stretching out into long jams, like the opening "Talking to Clarry," which is too close to "Breaking into Heaven" for comfort.

Reviews"...the Bluetones often succeed on intent rather than content....breezy crooner Mark Morriss has a charming, unaffected style....the 'Tones are a smiling Merseybeat rush...", Ranked #11 in NME's 1996 critic's poll., "...Conjuring a hybrid of once-influential forebearers--the textured thoughtfulness of Aztec Camera with the hip-swaying buoyancy of the Stone Roses--accusation and introspection entwine in their sprightly, energized odes." - Rating: B+, Ranked #19 on Melody Maker's list of 1996's `Albums Of The Year.', 3 stars out of 5 -- "Their melodic indie pop could hang together well, as chiming, winsome Number 2 hit 'Slight Return' and folky elongation 'The Fountainhead' prove...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The album remains a very, very good snapshot of its era....There's life in the performance that's well worth revisiting.", 3 Stars - Good - "...an accomplished and varied collection of guitar-based tunes with a solid charm rooted in the best traditions of English alternative pop--no more, but certainly no less..."
